Autoresponders! Delicate menageries of gold and rust-colored beads ebb into smart frocks, intricate Tiffany jewelry buckle necklaces lie against the backdrop of understated chartreuse gowns and subtle swatches of lively prints-blossoming violets, wheat-colored checkers-peak beneath muted hues and structured lines in fashion designer Korto Momolu's clothing. But for Momolu, the mahogany-skinned, Liberian-born fan favorite of "Project Runway's" fifth season, becoming an indemand designer with global requests and a sundry of ubiquitous admirers still seems illusory. Next week, Momolu's burgeoning celebrity will take a backseat to Barack Obama's tiffany bracelets peerless inauguration as she, and millions of others, make the pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., for one of America's most historic transitions of power. But in the days leading up to Obama's election, she will prepare to showcase her collection at the International Ball, a gala bursting with celebrities and most fashionable factions from the District and beyond. "I'll make sure I have some evening gowns, I'll have a more casual kind of luxury dressing, then some casual looks as well, a mixture," she said. "Some will have my traditional African designs that I usually do, then there'll be tiffany rings and handbags." Momolu has also envisioned what she calls a "classic" inaugural ball style for first-lady-to-be Michelle Obama. "Michelle looks like she's really simple, not really fussy. She is a woman with curves. I'd design something really simple that complements her shape and just really include some of my jewelry pieces with the African beading and some other beading work, just to show some of her husband's heritage." After the whirlwind presidential instillation and her own D.C. debut at the International Ball, Momolu will continue to prepare a traditional Liberian garment for Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Liberia's leader, after the president requested her services. The request, however, was bittersweet for Momolu who, after living in war-ravaged Liberia on and off as a child, will return for the first time in more than a decade. "It's an amazing opportunity for [Johnson-Sirleaf] to even think of me. It's going to be more a traditional African outfit, traditional, what we call, 'country.' I haven't been home in about 15 years and to be invited by the president of my country, all because of this show... The word has spread around the country, I have huge support." Momolu, a mother, wife and Arkansas resident, has also been confirmed as a featured designer on BETs " Rip the Runway" fashion show, which will once again broadcast her eclectic designs to multitudes of fashion-forward audiences, particularly young African-Americans looking to carve their own niche in the fickle, competitive industry. Her advice to anyone looking to break into the fashion industry: "Find outlets that can enhance your skill...Join up with other people doing shows, that's how I started in the Little Rock area," said Momolu. "Always step up your game and never stay in one place. I'm always growing and remember that nothing happens over night."
